MEMORANDUM ON THE OBJECTS OF THE DRAFT WESTERN

CAPE ROAD TRAFFIC BILL, 2006

The process of advertising the draft Western Cape Road Traffic Bill, 2006 is intended
to elicit public comment and to incorporate such comments as are received into the final
Bill prior to it being introduced to the Provincial Legislature. It should be noted that the
comments received from the earlier process of advertising the draft Western Cape Road
Traffic Bill, 2002 (Provincial Gazette 5918 dated 2 August 2002) have been incorporated
where appropriate into this new version.
The draft Western Cape Road Traffic Bill, 2006 (the Bill) is designed to revise and
consolidate the provisions of the Western Cape Road Traffic Act, 1998 (Act 12 of 1998)
in response to developments relating to national road traffic legislation.
The Western Cape Road Traffic Act, 1998 (‘‘the Provincial Act’’), was designed to be
read in conjunction with the National Road Traffic Act, 1996 (Act 93 of 1996) (‘‘the
National Act’’) as part of a package of road traffic legislation agreed to by MINCOM
(the Ministerial Committee of Ministers of Transport). According to this agreement,
each province would pass a provincial road traffic act to supplement the National Act
and to deal with road traffic issues of provincial concern.
Before either of these Acts was brought into operation, the National Parliament
passed the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act, 1998 (Act 46 of
1998) (‘‘the AARTO Act’’) and the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act, 1999
(Act 20 of 1999) (‘‘the RTMC Act’’). These Acts necessitated amendment of the
National Act.
Pursuant to the AARTO Act and the RTMC Act, the decision was taken to excise
many of the issues dealt with in the provincial acts and to introduce them into the
National Act. Accordingly, the National Road Traffic Amendment Act, 1999 (Act 21 of
1999) was passed to amend the 1996 Act by also incorporating the following issues,
among others, which were previously seen as issues of provincial concern:
— Appointment of registering authorities
— Appointment of officers
— Registration and grading of officers
— Powers and duties of officers
— Registration and licensing of motor vehicles
— Registration of driving licence testing centres and instructors
— Registration of testing stations
— Powers of local authorities to make by-laws on road traffic issues.
In response to this, only limited sections of the Provincial Act were brought into
operation on 14 December 2000 (Proclamation No. 118 of 2000). The remaining
provisions, which are now in the National Act, need never be brought into operation, and
will be repealed by the Bill. The Bill also consolidates the provisions of the Provincial
Act into a condensed form and brings about limited revisions. In summary, the Bill
mainly repeats and consolidates road traffic laws that are already in force.
Clause 1 of the Bill provides necessary definitions.
Clause 2 empowers municipalities to collect parking fees for parking bays and ranks
and stands.
Clause 3 deals with presumptions relating to types of roads in prosecutions under the
Act. For example, roads are presumed to be public roads unless the contrary is proved.
Clause 4 similarly provides that in prosecutions under the Act, it is presumed that the
owner of a vehicle was driving it until the contrary is proved. Under clause 5, persons
acting as traffic officers are presumed to be properly appointed.
Clause 6 allows the Provincial Minister to make regulations on certain issues relating
to road traffic that are not covered by the National Act.
Clause 7 empowers municipalities to make by-laws on similar issues. This duplicates
Section 80(a) of the National Act (Act 93 of 1996) because that section is not yet in
operation.
Clause 8 empowers municipalities to determine fees for the purposes of such by-laws.
In terms of clause 9 the Provincial Minister may make regulations requiring persons
to keep registers and records relating to road traffic matters.
Clause 10 allows entries in records and registers to be used as evidence in matters
such as court proceedings. Clause 11 allows the Provincial Minister to take cognisance
of information in such registers and records.
Clause 12 allows municipalities to exempt medical personnel and persons with
disabilities from parking laws and to provide special parking places for those persons.
 12

In terms of clause 13 the Provincial Minister may authorise refunds of fees that have
been overpaid.
Clause 14 allows the Auditor-General to inspect records of registering authorities.
Similarly, under clause 15 the Provincial Minister may authorise inspections to ensure
that the provisions of the Act are being carried out. Clause 16 allows the Provincial
Minister to authorise a registering authority or other authority to use forms which vary
from the prescribed forms.
Clause 17 provides that persons who are unable to sign their names for purposes of the
Act may use thumb prints or fingerprints. Clause 18 deals with the service or delivery
of notices under the Act.
Clause 19 deals with the use of the three official languages of the Province on road
traffic signs, direction signs and street name signs. In the case of direction signs and
street name signs on local streets, the language use and preferences of local communities
will be considered. The Bill empowers the Provincial Minister to make regulations on
language use on various categories of roads. Clause 20 provides for offences and
penalties.
Clause 21 requires that fees paid in terms of the Act must be paid into the Provincial
Revenue Fund, except in the case where fees are paid to a testing station which is not a
registering authority, and where fees are set in terms of a municipal bylaw. Clause 22
deals with the apportionment of fines, subject to applicable national legislation.
Clause 23 deals with the delegation of the Provincial Minister’s powers and duties.
Clause 24 provides for transitional provisions.
Clause 25 repeals the Provincial Act. Clause 26 provides that the Act binds the State,
but that the Provincial Minister may exempt the State or any of its departments from the
provisions of the Act.
Clause 27 deals with the short title and commencement of the Bill.

MEMORANDUM OOR DIE DOELWITTE VAN DIE WES-KAAPSE

KONSEPWETSONTWERP OP PADVERKEER, 2006

Die proses om die Wes-Kaapse Konsepwetsontwerp op Padverkeer, 2006, te

adverteer, is daarop gemik om kommentaar van die publiek in te win en om die
kommentaar wat ontvang word, in die finale Wetsontwerp op te neem voordat dit by die
Provinsiale Wetgewer ingedien word. Daar dien daarop gelet te word dat die
kommentaar wat ontvang is na aanleiding van die vroeëre proses van advertensie van die
Wes-Kaapse Konsepwetsontwerp op Padverkeer, 2002 (Provinsiale Koerant 5918 van 2
Augustus 2002), in hierdie nuwe weergawe opgeneem is, waar gepas.
Die Wes-Kaapse Konsepwetsontwerp op Padverkeer, 2006 (‘‘die Wetsontwerp’’) is
opgestel om die bepalings van die Wes-Kaapse Wet op Padverkeer, 1998 (Wet 12 van
1998), te hersien en te konsolideer in reaksie op verwikkelinge ten opsigte van nasionale
padverkeerswetgewing.
Die Wes-Kaapse Wet op Padverkeer, 1998 (‘‘die Provinsiale Wet’’) is opgestel om
saam met die nasionale Padverkeerswet, 1996 (Wet 93 van 1996) (‘‘die Nasionale Wet’’)
gelees te word as deel van ’n pakket van padverkeerswetgewing waarop MINKOM (die
Ministeriële Komitee van Ministers van Vervoer) ooreengekom het. Ingevolge hierdie
ooreenkoms moet elke provinsie ’n provinsiale padverkeerswet aanneem om die
nasionale Wet aan te vul en om provinsiale padverkeersaangeleenthede te hanteer.
Voordat enigeen van hierdie Wette in werking gestel is, het die Nasionale Parlement
die Wet op die Administratiewe Beregting van Padverkeersmisdrywe, 1998 (Wet 46 van
1998) (‘‘die ABP-wet’’) en die Wet op die Padverkeersbestuurskorporasie, 1999 (Wet 20
van 1999) (‘‘die PBK-wet’’), aangeneem. Hierdie Wette het wysigings aan die
Nasionale Wet genoodsaak.
Ooreenkomstig die APB-wet en die PBK-wet is daar besluit om verskeie
aangeleenthede wat in die provinsiale wette hanteer is, te skrap en dit in die Nasionale
Wet op te neem. Gevolglik is die Nasionale Padverkeerswysigingswet, 1999 (Wet 21
van 1999), aangeneem om die 1996-wet te wysig deur onder meer ook die volgende
aangeleenthede wat voorheen as provinsiale aangeleenthede beskou is, te inkorporeer:
— Aanstelling van registrasie-owerhede — Aanstelling van beamptes
— Registrasie en gradering van beamptes
— Bevoegdhede en pligte van beamptes
— Registrasie en lisensiëring van motorvoertuie
— Registrasie van bestuurlisensietoetsentrums en -instrukteurs
— Registrasie van toetsstasies
— Bevoegdhede van plaaslike owerhede om verordeninge oor padverkeers-
aangeleenthede uit te vaardig.
In reaksie hierop is slegs beperkte artikels van die Provinsiale Wet op 14 Desember
2000 in werking gestel (Proklamasie No. 118 van 2000). Die oorblywende bepalings
wat nou deel van die Nasionale Wet uitmaak, hoef nooit in werking gestel te word nie en
sal deur die Wetsontwerp herroep word. Die Wetsontwerp konsolideer ook die bepalings
van die Provinsiale Wet in ’n verkorte vorm en bring geringe wysigings mee.
Opsommenderwys herhaal en konsolideer die Wetsontwerp hoofsaaklik padverkeers-
wette wat reeds toegepas word.
Klousule 1 van die Wetsontwerp verskaf die nodige woordomskrywings.
Klousule 2 bemagtig munisipaliteite om parkeergelde vir parkeervakke en
staanplekke en standplase in te vorder.
Klousule 3 handel oor vermoedens aangaande die soorte paaie in vervolgings
kragtens die Wet. Daar word byvoorbeeld vermoed dat ’n pad ’n openbare pad is tensy
die teendeel bewys word.
Klousule 4 maak op soortgelyke wyse voorsiening daarvoor dat by vervolgings
ingevolge die Wet, daar vermoed word dat die eienaar van ’n voertuig dit bestuur het
totdat die teendeel bewys word.
Ingevolge klousule 5 word daar aangeneem dat persone wat as verkeersbeamptes
optree, behoorlik aangestel is.
Ingevolge klousule 6 kan die Provinsiale Minister regulasies oor sekere
aangeleenthede rondom padverkeer wat nie deur die Nasionale Wet gedek word nie,
uitvaardig.
Klousule 7 bemagtig munisipaliteite om verordeninge oor gelyksoortige
aangeleenthede uit te vaardig. Dit dupliseer artikel 80(a) van die Nasionale Wet (Wet 93
van 1996) aangesien daardie artikel nog nie in werking gestel is nie.
 23

Klousule 8 bemagtig munisipaliteite om gelde vas te stel vir die doeleindes van sodanige
verordeninge.
Ingevolge klousule 9 kan die Provinsiale Minister regulasies uitvaardig wat van persone
vereis om registers en rekords rakende padverkeersaangeleenthede te hou.
Klousule 10 maak voorsiening vir inskrywings in rekords en registers om te dien as
bewyse in sake soos hofverrigtinge.
Klousule 11 laat die Provinsiale Minister toe om kennis te neem van inligting in
sodanige registers en rekords.
Klousule 12 laat munisipaliteite toe om mediese personeel en gestremde persone vry te
stel van parkeerwette en om spesiale parkeerplekke vir daardie persone te voorsien.
Ingevolge klousule 13 kan die Provinsiale Minister die terugbetaling van gelde wat
oorbetaal is, magtig.
Ingevolge klousule 14 kan die Ouditeur-generaal rekords van registrasie-owerhede
inspekteer. Eweneens kan die Provinsiale Minister kragtens klousule 15 inspeksies
magtig om te verseker dat die bepalings van die Wet nagekom word.
Ingevolge klousule 16 kan die Provinsiale Minister ’n registrasie-owerheid of ander
owerheid magtig om vorms te gebruik wat verskil van die voorgeskrewe vorms.
Klousule 17 maak voorsiening daarvoor dat persone wat nie in staat is om hul name te
teken nie, vir die doeleindes van die Wet duim- of vingerafdrukke mag gebruik.
Klousule 18 handel oor die betekening van kennisgewings kragtens die Wet.
Klousule 19 handel oor die gebruik van die drie amptelike tale van die Provinsie op
padverkeerstekens, rigtingwysers en straatnaamborde. In die geval van rigtingwysers en
straatnaamborde op plaaslike strate sal die taalgebruik en -voorkeure van plaaslike
gemeenskappe in oorweging geneem word. Die Wetsontwerp bemagtig die Provinsiale
Minister om regulasies uit te vaardig oor taalgebruik op verskeie kategorieë paaie.
Klousule 20 maak voorsiening vir misdrywe en strawwe.
Klousule 21 vereis dat gelde wat ingevolge die Wet betaal word, in die Provinsiale
Inkomstefonds inbetaal moet word, behalwe in gevalle waar gelde aan ’n toetsstasie
betaal word wat nie ’n registrasie owerheid is nie en waar gelde in terme van ’n
munisipale verordening bepaal word.
Klousule 22 handel oor die verdeling van boetes, onderhewig aan toepaslike nasionale
wetgewing.
Klousule 23 handel oor die delegering van die Provinsiale Minister se bevoegdhede en
pligte.
Klousule 24 maak voorsiening vir oorgangsbepalings.
Klousule 25 herroep die Provinsiale Wet.
Klousule 26 maak voorsiening daarvoor dat die Wet die Staat bind, maar dat die
Provinsiale Minister die Staat of enige van sy departemente van die bepalings van die
Wet mag vrystel.
Klousule 27 handel oor die kort titel en die inwerkingtreding van die Wet.

IMEMORANDAM MALUNGA NEENJONGO ZEDRAFTI

YOMTHETHO OYILWAYO WENTSHONA KOLONI WEZENDLELA,
2006

Indlela yokwazisa uyilo loMthetho oYilwayo weNtshona Koloni wezeNdlela, 2006

ijoliswe ekuveni izimvo zoluntu nokufakela ezo zimvo zifunyenweyo kuMtheho
ogqityiweyo phambi kokuba waziswe kwiPalamente yePhondo. Qaphela ukuba izimvo
ezafunyanwa kwinkqubo yangaphambili yokwazisa uyilo loMtheho oYilwayo
wezeNdlela wePhondo iNtshona Koloni, 2002 (iGazethi yePhondo 5918 yomhla wesi-2
Agasti 2002) zifakelwe kulo mqulu mtsha apho kufanelekileyo. Uyilo loMthetho
oYilwayo wezeNdlela wePhondo iNtshona Koloni, 2006 (uMthetho oYilwayo)
lulungiselelwe ukuhlaziya nokulungelelanisa imiqathango yoMthetho weNtshona
Koloni wezeNdlela, 1998 (Umthetho 12 ka 1998), kananjalo ukwahlangabezana noko
kwenzekayo ngokubhekiselele kwimithetho yesizwe yezendlela.
Umthetho weNtshona Koloni wezeNdlela, 1998 (‘‘uMthetho wePhondo’’)
walungiselelwa ukuba ufundwe noMthetho weSizwe wezeNdlela, 1996 (uMthetho 93
ka 1996) (‘‘uMthetho weSizwe’’) njengenxalenye yeminye imithetho ekuvunyelwene
ngayo yi-MINCOM (Ministerial Committee of Ministers of Transport—ikomiti
yabaphathiswa bezendlela). Ngokweso sivumelwano iphondo ngalinye liya kuwisa
umthetho wephondo wezendlela oza kuxhasa uMthetho weSizwe noza kujongana
nemiba yezendlela echaphazela iphondo.
Kwathi ngaphambi kokuba ukusebenza kwawo nawuphi na kuloo mithetho kube
nokusungulwa, iPalamente yeSizwe yawisa uMthetho wokuChotshelwa kwaMatyala
oLwaphulo-mthetho eziNdleleni, 1998 (uMthetho 46 ka 1998), iAdministration of Road
Traffic Offences Act, 1998 (‘‘uMthetho weAARTO’’) kunye noMthetho
wooKopolotyeni boLawulo lwezeNdlela, 1999 (uMthetho 20 ka 1999), Road Traffic
Management Corporation Act. 1999 (‘‘uMthetho weRTMC’’)). Loo mithetho idala
imfuneko yokuba kuhlonyelwe uMthetho weSizwe.
Emva kokuwiswa koMthetho weAARTO noMthetho weRTMC, kwathatyathwa
isigqibo sokuba kucatshulwe imiba emininzi ephaya kwimithetho yephondo ifakwe
kuMthetho weSizwe. Ngako oko kwawiswa uMthetho-sihlomelo weSizwe wezeNdlela,
1999 (uMthetho 21 ka 1999), INational Road Traffic Amendment Act, mthetho lowo
wawuhlomela laa Mthetho ka 1996 ngokuthi ubandakanye nale miba ilandelayo,
phakathi kweminye, miba leyo ebisakuthatyathwa njengemiba enxulumene nephondo:
— Ukutyunjwa kweziphathamandla zobhaliso
— Ukutyunjwa kwamagosa
— Ukubhaliswa nokugreyidishwa kwamagosa
— Amagunya nemisebenzi yamagosa — Ukubhaliswa nokulayiseniswa
kwezithuthi
— Ukubhaliswa kwamaziko akhupha iilayisenisi zokuqhuba nokubhaliswa
kwamagosa afundisa ukuqhuba
— Ukubhaliswa kwezitishi zobhaliso
— Amagunya oomasipala okwenza imithetho yoomasipala enxulumene nemicimbi
yezendlela.
Ukuhlangabezana naloo mba, yaba ngamacandelo ambalwa oMthetho wephondo
awathi aqaliswa ukusungulwa ngomhla we-14 kuDisemba 2000 (ISibhengezo 118 sika
2000). Imiqathango eseleyo ekungoku nje nekuMthetho weSizwe akusayi kubakho
mfuneko yokuba iqalise ukusetyenziswa kwaye iya kutshitshiswa ngulo Mthetho
uYilwayo. Lo Mthetho uYilwayo ukwalungelelanisa imiqathango yoMthetho
wePhondo ngendlela apha eyakwenza ukuba ibe yinto enye kwaye ukwazisa uhlaziyo
olungephi. Ngamafutshane, lo Mthetho uYilwayo uphinda imithetho yezendlela esele
isebenza, uyilungelelanise ngokunjalo.
IGatya 1 lo Mthetho oYilwayo liqulethe inkcazelo eyimfuneko.
IGatya 2 ligunyazisa oomasipala ngelokuba babe nokuqokelela imirhumo
yokupakisha kwiindawo zokupakisha nakwiirenki nezitandi.
IGatya 3 liqulethe umcimbi onxulumene neentlobo zeendlela xa kutshutshiswa
phantsi koMthetho. Umzekelo, iindlela zithatyathwa njengeendlela zikawonke-wonke
ngaphandle kokuba kungeziwa nobungqina obuphikisana noko.
IGatya 4 nalo ngokufanayo lichaza ukuba xa kutshutshiswa phantsi kwalo Mthetho
umini-sithuthi nguye obe qhuba eso sithuthi de kube kuziwe nobungqina obuphikisana
noko.
Phantsi kwegatya 5, abantu abaqhuba umsebenzi wobugosa bezendlela bathatyathwa
njengabantu abatyunjwe ngokufanelekileyo.
